Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜加寿屋

Such a lovely experience! It looked somewhat closed (but google maps said open) so we just tried the door and we had such a lovely warm welcome by the elderly couple running the restaurant. Small authentic intimate venue (maybe 10 seats) so had a really lovely calm atmosphere as you can see the lady cooking the yummy food for you :) The menu was in Japanese, we picked the Ramen (¥600) and were not disappointed :) they also served us green tea free of charge - would recommend to anyone in the area for sure!

The food was authentic and amazing! The menu is small & it's on the wall. Have your translator handy. The place nearby we looked up was closed so we went here and I'm SO. GLAD. The price was so affordable too. Less than $9 USD for Ramen and Curry. I'd have EASILY paid double, even triple! Amazing!

If you want to eat some simple and delicious ramen here is the place! The old lady doesn't speak any English, and there is not any English menu, we just ask for ramen with meat and were not disappointed. Very delicious in a home feeling, we felt very welcome.
